Horry County dad, son double up on gobblers

gobblers

Jason and Gauge Britt doubled up on gobblers on April 10, 2022 during an afternoon hunt in Horry County, S.C. Both birds had 11+ inch beards and 1+ inch spurs. They missed out on getting a shot at the two toms earlier that morning.

“We went that morning before church. The birds ended up coming out into the food plot at 8:20 a.m., but we had just left at 8 to go home to get ready for church,” said Jason Britt.

Luckily, the birds came back that afternoon.

“We went back out at around 2 p.m. and we ended up shooting them around 4:30,” he said.

Britt said he feels fortunate to have shared the experience with 7-year-old Gauge. They’ve teamed up on numerous outdoor adventures together hunting several different species. And he said this hunt was a special one.

“It’s not very often you get to double up when turkey hunting. This one is special though! Doubling up with my 7-year-old son on two monster gobblers, each with 11+ inch beards and 1+ inch spurs is just different! It’s Gauge’s biggest bird to date, and my biggest bird in a few years. I love you son, and I love this life with you,” he said.
